The two launches also feature the latest Camarc Design double chine refined hull for improved speed, fuel efficiency, acceleration, and comfort.
PSA Marine has awarded a contract to Lita Ocean to build 2 units of a new-generation, heavy-duty and high-speed pilot launch. These two 17-metres launches are designed to allow for future retrofitting of hybrid propulsion, and will be equipped with smart and digital applications to facilitate remote-monitoring and enhance overall situational awareness and safety.

published on 20 January 2021
This video complements the earlier demonstration of wind effect on straight track and shows now wind effect on turning circles. It can be seen that during a turn under strong wind the ship reduces turning when it comes close to equilibrium on straight track - if the Wind-to-ship speed ratio is big enough then the ship even goes straight instead of turning. This is shown for three samples for Head, Stern wind and Beam wind. The turning can be increased if the ratio of Wind speed-to-ship...
